OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by trinex2010 on January 30, 2010 at 10:16pm: BC is a life changing experience for my son, before he would go to bed at 1 or 2am and sleep till 11am. He wrote bed time at 8pm up at 6am wow, I never thought i would see it LOL. He is doing great no complaint. His biggest concern was about his XBOX .

Comment by lovejmz (Mrs. Z) on January 28, 2010 at 6:03pm: don't be bummed about the letter try not to think about it then you'll be pleasantly surprised when it gets there. I got the form letter 2 days after the box then you still have a couple weeks wait til the first real letter.
